Dehydrated skin: which treatments should you prioritise in your routine?

A dehydrated skin is due to a failure in the hydrolipidic barrier which is no longer able to retain water. This recurring but occasional and reversible phenomenon manifests itself through a loss of radiance and comfort. Feelings of tightness are common, particularly after cleansing or showering. It should be noted, all skin types can experience episodes of dehydration, even the oiliest ones.

Skin dehydration is often linked to environmental factors (cold, wind, pollution, sun, etc.), stress, fatigue, lifestyle choices (smoking, insufficient hydration, alcohol consumption, use of overly harsh/corrosive cosmetic products) and the intake of certain medications (anti-cholesterol, anti-acne, etc.). Skin ageing is an intrinsic factor that also promotes dehydration due to the drastic drop in hyaluronic acid it causes over the years.

If your skin is dehydrated, it is crucial to rely on formulas rich in humectant ingredients (glycerine, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, etc...) that will retain water within the layers of the skin.

Morning and evening, opt for a gentle and super-fatted cleanser like our hydrating wash treatment with palmarosa. Cold saponified, this process allows vegetable oils to retain their re-lipidising and soothing properties. You can then complete this beauty routine with a hydrating toner, which will rebalance the skin's pH, while eliminating any lime scale residues present on the face. Concentrated in hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, this lotion helps to rehydrate the skin and reduce feelings of tightness. It is only after these initial steps have been carried out that targeted anti-dehydration treatments can be applied.

Hyaluronic acid is the key compound for hydrating your skin. This active ingredient acts like a molecular sponge: it is capable of binding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Morning and evening, on clean and dry skin, apply the hydrating serum based on hyaluronic acid and provitamin B5 followed by the hydrating face cream with 9 ingredients. These treatments compensate for the natural decrease in hyaluronic acid in the skin, resulting in hydrated, plump and smoother skin.

In the morning, conclude your skincare routine by applying a broad-spectrum sun protection. Its light texture, without white traces, provides a non-shiny and non-sticky finish. Moreover, this cream is enriched with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to deeply hydrate the skin.

No matter your skin type, removing makeup is a crucial step. Every evening, apply thecleansing oildirectly to your face until all makeup has completely disappeared. If you prefer using a cleansing balm, our formula with camellia oil effectively removes makeup from the face and eyes and gently cleanses. Its transformative balm - oil - milk texture leaves the skin supple, soft and comfortable.

The botanical hydrating mist provides an immediate refreshing boost. The skin feels comfortable and the complexion is radiant. It contains centifolia rose cells and a hydrating biosaccharide, soothing verbena hydrosol, and rebalancing inulin.
